The Mukurthi-class battleship was a class of four fast battleships built for the Royal Tennaiite Navy (RTN) in the 1920s. They reinforced Tennai's "eight-eight fleet" of eight battleships and eight battlecruisers after Syara announced a major naval construction programs in the same period. The Mukurthi-class was designed to be superior to all other existing battleships, planned or building.
